Hero Mode Open Review

MRain202 · February 2011

This thread is set for people who want to comment on Hero Mode and what they think about it.. I did not check the previous threads so I don't know if it's already been discussed.

To me, I don't see much difference in hero mode.. I was hoping it would be better but it's pretty much a useless Mode from what I've seen. Not once yet have I seen the hero actually win a round. I know there are noobs who end up becomming the hero but it's a bit odd.. A person holding a thompson or a machine gun could probably survive longer than the hero.. Then again, I've never been the hero ever so I'm only talking from what I've seen.

This mode is like a MM mode with lucky or unlucky hero (i prefer my RPK gold then the machine gun of the hero) and re-spawning dead mutants.
I was pretty deceived by the mode.

Only funny improvement is the grenade launcher, just funny to gnade mutant like that.

Well it mostly depends what kind of people are in-game if its some decent people who can team up a little bit then the Soldier's will win easy. If its just a bunch of lone wolf's and noobs then 90% of the time the other side will win. I really think they have a good idea but its still a bit 1 sided considering that Mutants actually re-spawn, most of them don't die from a Headshot due to people not knowing/not being able to hit the head, etc. But they just failed when they tried to merge the M.M maps with Hero Mode. The M.M are just way to small, I think they should have just added on a small section or perhaps a few small underground area's to the Mutation Mode maps. And just taken M.M out completely. Because if you think about it its kind of pointless right now.

I agree that it can be better, but i do think it is an improvement over mm (idk why mm is still a game mode option--why not combine the two?) I think there should be two heroes per match, because the odds are too low to ever being one in game. I've played in about seven full hero games so far, and i was hero just once. The reason humans very rarely win in-game is not because the mode is generally unfair, it mostly has to do with the players. I'm sure if capable, determined players all played in one game, it would be one hell of a fight.

True. I know it's a poor example but look at COD zombie mode.. 100's of waves of zombies but with just 4 determined players, they could kill hoards of zombies.

Just too many "casual" players are playing the mode so it's a bit fustrating. And to be honest, if those people who play COD zombies teammed up in MM on this game, it should be super easy since the mutants get knocked back (that's if they don't lag). I think traps should be put into the game as well. Not super traps like electric fences, but something that will hurt the mutant and slow them down. The trap would have a limit as to how many times in 1 round it can be used and as to the amount of time the trap can be reset. Like 5 times a round with a 1 minute delay in times.. This would make it even. Can't rely on the trap(s) since it takes a minute to reload but it can also help in sparring time.
